According to the Bristol Post, Solo reportedly told one of his victims "Some of the best sex we’ve had is when I’m raping you.”

And played the jury video footage of alleged sex acts that he would often record.

“What happens is, quite simply, brutal,” Quinlan told the jurors. “They are both naked. She is upset. At all times he is directing her what to do.”

“She was no match, physically for him. None of them were,” Quinlan said.
